I got this recipe from sparksrecipe.com if you arent familar with sparks its a online weightloss site. I've made some changes to it so it's a little different then the orginial recipe. I actually never tried the original recipe so I'm not so sure if mine is better however I really liked mine so that is what I'm posting.
Ingredients for dressing:
2 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP seasame seed oil
3 TBSP rice vinegar
2 TBSP sugar (or sugar substitute)
1/2 ramen noodel seasoning package (I like beef)
1/4 ground red pepper
1 TBSP soy sauce
Ingredients for salad
1 small head of napa cabage (or I used the prewashed bag of broccoli slaw)
2 green onions, chopped
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 package ramen noodles, crushed (might sound strange, but these noodles are actually pre-fried so they are already cooked and are almost like a cracker)
Make dressing ahead (like 15 minutes), by combining ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to dissolve sugar. Combine the first three salad ingredients, toss well. Add crushed ramen noodles and dressing to salad and toss again. Serve right away or cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend. If serving much later wait to add the ramen. I added about a Tablespoon of peanut butter to this for more of a thai taste and I also cooked up 2 chicken breasts, chopped and added it to make more of a meal rather than a salad.

I actually tried something like this before and it was soooo good. I'm excited you posted the recipe!
dude, this salad does sound way good. i've had lots of varieties of this, but i don't have any recipes myself...nor have i ever tried it. I like your idea of the peanut butter, too. I LOVE fresh cabbage (especially the red/purple one)--what is that one called? Napa is the green one, right? Anyways, I like them both, but only with yummy sauces on it like your dressing you described here. hee hee. also good w/ salmon on top. we used to serve it at the skyroom. a salmon napa cabbage salad w/ a thai peanut sauce dressing. OMG SO GOOD
